ClayK Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You already know what I think of them Dirk.....so glad to see you working on TWO pro mods!! That Corvette is just awesome. The Camaro is cool too, but that last shot of the Vette is money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharr7226 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I love the wing. You nailed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappyJ Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks for looking and the kind words gents! Clay- I just hope I don't get burned out. Tyrone- The tires are huge pegassus tires. They're a little big because they are their funny car tires, but I like them for the PMs too. If you're interested, I can see if I can figure out what the item number is on the pegassus website. Thanks again, Rick and Mike! Jim- What can I say, those wheels are just bad and I'm sure will definitely be the centerpiece of the cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks Dirk... I thought that may have been what you were using... I like the big shoes on the back too...lol... that's what I'm using on my stang too... I keep looking at those wheels and I'm gonna have to break down and get some... I'm loving these builds you got going... I hope you dont burn yourself out on these... I'm enjoying the updates.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Wing change looks good. Tyrone send me a pm about the body if you want. I can make as many as you like. Can't wait to see more Dirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Those are both looking excellent Dirk. I really like the mods you've made to update the bodies, and your rolling stock and wheels are impressive... Looking forward to more updates!

ScrappyJ Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks, guys!!! I finally got around to getting the stems on the chassis for hanging/hinging the doors. I just LOVE hinging doors (note sarcasm): More to come... Edited February 24, 2014 by ScrappyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrappyJ Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) This is what happens when you use an open-flame for soldering and leave plastic parts on the chassis you're soldering: Rather than bashing a kit just for the seat, I thought I would try repairing the melted/deformed portion of the seat. The first order of business was to cut out the melted portion: After a little plastic, CA and TNX7R: Edited February 26, 2014 by ScrappyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
